Well say hello to Dr. Bob Ready for me. Last time I knew he was chair of
the Undergrad English Dept. Oh, and if you see a course, any course,
offered by Dr. Corrington of the Theo department, take it. He's the most
compelling professor on campus.
All the NOT advice is good, and bullshit too. Manhattan is pretty safe if
you're not a moron.
Other Madison Advice: El Mundo del Vecio is a wonderful and EXPENSIVE
restaurant. And I do mean Expensive. I personally don't care to pay more
than McD's prices for my dinner, but some people like that sort of thing.
And the best Sushi this side of Tongas in the east village is located in
Morristown, NJ. If you enter the square from the Madison direction and go
3/4 the way around, just before you effectively make a U-turn take a
right. On your right a Sushi place that is small and upstairs of some
other dumpy business. The sushi there is great. And I mean great.
But your staple will probably be the Broadway Diner in Sommerville, much
better than the Nauty (the Nautilus Diner in Madison). They have some
wonderful pancakes.
